y.ETERANs' CERTIFICATES LAW

The vindication which subsequent
events have given Senator Richard Hsrri-
SOD, in connection with his Greer county
policy borrows emphasis from the pass
age of the House bill to repeal the law
granting land certificates to Texas vet
Grams. This law was passed in 1881, and
has, therefore, been in force nearly
six years. Mr.. Harrison contends
that it fulfilled long ago whatever mis-
sion of usefulness it was capa-
BILE of performing, and, therefore,
ought to be repealed. The strongest
argument that can be MADE against repeal
must be based on sentimental grounds.
Sentiment aside, however, there is
abundant reason to believe that Mr.. Har :
risOn was not far wrong when he con-
tended that repeal is in the interest of
economy and honesty, and that the oppo-
sition to repeal does not come from the
veterans themselves. The law, as above
stated, was passed nearly six years ago,
and the veterans have not ignored its
existence. 1t is to be doubted If there is
a man in Texas justly entitled to the ben
etits of the law who has not received his
certificate long ago. If this surmise is
correct (and THE GAZETTE has reason to
believe it Isl, the further retention of the
law would seem to be more in the inter
est of land spectators than any body else.
1t certainly is not calculated to benefit
the veterans any further. Investigation
of the records in the Attorney Generals
office will show that, despite its laudable
purpose, the law has been utilized more
than once to cover fraud by securing GER
titicates for persons who were in no wise
entitled to them. Ex-Attorney- General
can tell (for his vigilance I'M
earthed and checkmated the frauds
of divers bold and unscrupulous
frauds perpetrated-or rather at
tempted-under the shield of this law.
1t is stated that land spectators used
the names of negroes in the Senegambian
belt to secure the issuance of veteran GER
and got them, too, but the
of the Attorney General
the fraud and he interviewed in
time to have the patents which were To-
Gated Cancelled. These negroes were
slaves, but had belonged to Texas vet
Grams, ard the names of the ex-masters
were used with unhlushing effrontery
Such episodes as these may well pat the
people to considering whether it is not
high time to repeal the law, especially
when there is tangible assurance that the
real veterans entitled to it's benefits have
been as fully provided for as is possible
under the law. THE GAZETTE has credi-
BILE information to the effect that promi-
nent veterans, men whose standing as
such will not be questioned, and whose
personal characters are so high as to give
their opinions weight and value, have ex-
pressed themselves as favoring repeal, for
the simple but very sufficient reason that
there are now none but bogus veterans to
be benefited by the existing law.

THERE seems to be state of things in
PENNSYLVANIA similar to that in Texas.
The Philadelphia Record says: "The
State Senate passed the prohibition
amendment after less than two hours de-
bate. But when the high license bill
shall come up for consideration the po-
tent seigniors promise to talk Oh 1t for e
month. The difference is that prohibition
will not prohibit. while high license will
put the liquor traffic within control"

What hope is there for labor organiza-
tons when they select for their leaders
Greenbackers and protectionists, and
support journals devoted to the propaga-

money and dear living are things that
workingmen should strive for? Hard
money of full value and cheap living are
the foundation stones Of prosperity for
all men who earn their bread in the sweat
